XNXX
3ms
Born in Paris in 1997, XNXX emerged as a significant player in the digital landscape. This Czech-French platform, with its global reach spanning Montreal, Tokyo, and Newark, has solidified its position as a major hub for adult content. By July of 2025, it ranks as the 42nd most visited website globally, and impressively, the fourth most popular adult site, trailing only behind giants like Pornhub, XVideos, and XHamster.
The company behind XNXX is WGCZ Holding, the same entity that operates XVideos, a testament to their influence in the industry. In fact, a 2018 ranking by Business Insider recognized XNXX among the top three most popular porn sites worldwide.
Its journey began to be publicly acknowledged in 2014, when WGCZ Holding's ownership came to light during a dispute resolution case. The platform's influence has also drawn the attention of governments; in 2018, India blocked XNXX, along with other adult websites, following a court order related to a disturbing rape case where perpetrators cited online pornography as inspiration. More recently, in January 2023, The Financial Times highlighted the immense scale of WGCZ's operations, reporting that their tube sites, XVideos and XNXX, collectively attract a staggering 6 billion visits per month.
It's worth noting a study from October 2023 by Statista, which found that a significant ninety percent of the adult videos hosted on the top four sites in France – Pornhub, HVideos, Xnxx, and Xhamster – depict acts of physical, sexual, or verbal violence against women.
